INTRODUCTION In spite of recent advances in traffic surveillance technology and ever-growing concern over traffic safety, there have been very few research efforts establishing links between real-time traffic flow parameters and crash occurrence. This study aims at identifying patterns in the freeway loop detector data that potentially precede traffic crashes. METHOD The proposed solution ess...

stability and performance are two main issues in motion of bipeds. to ensure stability of motion, a biped needs to follow specific pattern to comply with a stability criterion such as zero moment point. however, there are infinity many patterns of motion which ensure stability, so one might think of achieving better performance by choosing proper parameters of motion. step length and step perio...

in this study the performance and emissions characteristics of a heavy-duty, direct injection, compression ignition (ci) engine which is specialized in agriculture, have been investigated experimentally. for this aim, the influence of injection timing, load, engine speed on power, brake specific fuel consumption (bsfc), peak pressure (pp), nitrogen oxides (nox), carbon dioxide (co2), carbon mon...
